The site’s collector substation is scheduled to be energised in October, and some turbines will then begin generating energy in November, before the expected completion of construction in February 2015.

Specialist transport company Rex J Andrews is undertaking the project, transporting components from the Port of Eden to the site via Edrom Road, the Princes Highway, Imlay Road, the Monaro Highway and Springfield Road.

Contracts for the discharge of the remaining shipments remain up in the air, but AMS operations manager David Staight told the Magnet that the opportunity to carry out the most recent job will hold the local outfit in good stead throughout negotiations.
